My condolences to Rick's family and friends. I met Rick over 30 years ago at TTX where I worked as a summer intern. He was a wealth of knowledge - a great example of the world of systems programming that I later chose to follow, thanks to lessons from Rick and others. He was always willing to help and answer questions - a generosity that I strive to pay back every day in my interactions with my customers and colleagues. One of Rick's greatest lessons is that the best question is one that is well-researched. May he rest in peace.

I called Rick yesterday to check on him. My call was answered by his brother who informed me that Rick passed away on Friday of natural causes. He was a nice person and I was fortunate to meet and know him.
